Let's Learn:How Nigerian Government Can Achieve The Goal of Providing Food and Security

As we know,food is basic for every human being. So, all possible means to get a constant food supply sufficient for all the population of each country should be put into work.

When food security is threatened, the security of everything else is threatened. This is an implication that every step of bringing peace between people is preceded by filling up the stomachs of the population. Otherwise, you will never agree with a man living in an empty belly on anything.

It is always important that caution is given the first priority because it is the prevention of a future impediment. To prevent the people from being rogue to the government or even from being violent against each other, it will therefore be prudent that food security is observed.

When families lack food on the table, they will always lay the blame on the government for failing in the sector of social welfare, even when some do not know the reason of blaming the government. Some will even claim that their leaders are only concerned with their welfare but not that of their subjects who elected them to those administrative positions they are in.

Mostly, the claim that the leaders are busy embezzling taxpayer’s money will always cross the mind of anybody who has an ill feeling towards the government instead of using the funds to engage inactivities that will ensure food security is guaranteed.

Also,food security starts when water is available for agricultural activities: it is the core of farming activities deriving this from the fact that there is sufficient land which can be put under agriculture resulting in the provision of enough food for the population and which can be used for a considerable period of time.

If the available land under farming offers some good amount of farm produce which supports the country’s population, mainly in the metropolis, how about when more of the land is put into agriculture? Definitely, the economy of the country is going to improve immensely. This reciprocates to that the government will put much interest in providing and improving the social welfare of the citizens.

But does this sound logical,anyway? To some other people it may not seem to be. They will lay their arguments on that a large part of the country is semi-arid and some other parts are arid and thus unproductive. They are too pessimistic to remember that lands are also reclaimed. In the world there are some nations which happened to reclaim their lands and now the issue of food insecurity or poorly performing economies remain to be tales to their generations. Israel and Netherlands are good examples of such countries which reclaimed their land and as of now, their economies are doing quite well.

In some ways, Nigerians are also doing well in Agricultural activities and in the development of the country,the problem here is that some people don't know the main meaning of agriculture so they think it;s a lazy man's job.

I think the government should improve better on making agriculture the lead of the country in other to provide more jobs for the youths of the society and opening more doors for other countries to acknowledge the Nigerian youths agricultural firm.
